Age: 18

I am a high school graduate, I intend on becoming a software designer, web designer, or possibly a game designer. If none of those go through, I hope to become a surrealistic artist. I have self-taught myself just about everything I know about computers, mostly learning through trial and error, which is the only way to ever learn, rather than have people spoon-feeding it to others.

I'm an interesting individual, very opinionated in many subjects, open-minded, I've got a great personality, although I'm not a big talker. Since I'm a programmer, I try to do everything in the most logical and efficient way possible, so I like to plan ahead. I like staying up-to-date in the technological world, in terms of phones, software, and hardware as well. I have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and I don't think I'll ever know as much as I'd like to by the time I'm old and retired.

I'm interested in anything involving making my "brain juices" flow. I like art in general, as well as art that confuses the mind, fractals, "psychadelic art", etc. Besides art, I enjoy puzzles, and thinking games. After solving these things myself, I try to develop programs that will solve it in a fraction of how fast I did it myself. I support freedom on the internet, but I don't encourage it, because it IS illegal depending on what it is you download.

Below is a list of my ever-growing experience with technology. Below that, is a digital portfolio of the works I've done in my Multimedia/Info Management class that I took my Senior year in North Arlington High School.

Experience:
(I have never went to any classes for these programming languages, I am self-taught, and fluent.)
Computer programming, and web programming/design in:
  • Visual Basic
  • HTML
  • CSS (although it's not a strongpoint)
  • Javascript
  • jQuery (a more used library of javascript)
  • PHP
  • Python
  • SQL
I learn new languages very quickly.

All of Microsoft Office, Flash ActionScript
Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Flash
Flexible in terms of operating systems, All Windows, and Linux



Swish Animation:
My top 10 favorite bands
TopTen.exe
This is a semi-short presentation of my top 10 favorite bands at the time using Flash, although the development environment was called SwishMax.
-----
Audio Assignment:
Radio Show
This was a fun project by Jose Silva, Ryan Flynn, and myself. We laughed, we cried, we confused a football teams home name.
-----
Animated Greeting Card
Prison.exe
This was a quickly done project, an animated greeting card. In mine, it's from a prisoner who admits his innocence. There's also a mathematically-created snowfall in the EXE version, which is above.
-----
Audio Assignment:
Halloween Podcast
For this project, we had to do a spooky poem with a background of spooky music. I mixed drum files, and a ghost-town-like background sound, then I put a reverb on my voice as if it was being read in a large, empty room.
-----
Privacy Assignment:
Glogster!
This assignment was to show just how unsafe everyday social activities can become, from internet browsers, to social networks, to smart/cell phones.
-----
Internet Hoax Assignment
Monster.docx
There's a large amount of "spam" and "hoaxes" on the internet to steal money or scare you away from using your technology. This is an example, by putting a monster in our own town.
-----
Prezi Assignment:
Our Homelands

Dominican Republic Prezi on Prezi
This is a really cool and simplistic way to show data and information. We all showed our homelands and countries of origin using a Prezi.
-----
Voki:
Ourselves!
Voki's are essentially avatars, that can talk and show emotions. It's a simple, yet sometimes useful tool to attract attention, while still having a possibly educational value.
-----
Public Service Announcements
 (look in my folder, it's much too large to upload)
This was a very fun project, where we were to make a public service announcement and convey a message to the viewers. Mine: Pirating is illegal and you CAN be found by the FBI. (or Lil' Wayne.)
-----
ToonDoo
 Darn.
This was a fun comic strip maker. In mine, I show the unfortunate events that can take place in any high school on just about any given day.
Animoto
Although it took forever, I got this done. It's a simple slideshow of a subject of our choice, with a nice background music of our choosing as well. Sometimes it's pulling teeth to get me to do things I'm not good at.
Last Project
Metal - History.pptx
This was our last project (obviously) in our multimedia class, we had a list of choices to get our topic from, and I chose the history of (Heavy) Metal and its genealogy.
